FOREWORD
to sizes concrete and constructional dust bins. details for reinforced

Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 7 September 1962, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Building Division Council. 0.2 Refuse collection and disposal is becoming more and more important with the industrial development and the consequent urbanisation in the country. With the expansion of existing towns and the springing up of new towns, sanitation and hygiene have naturally become the primary duties of civic bodies and such other organizations. Hygienic requirements necessitate the collection of refuse in well designed containers located at predetermined places for its subsequent disposal. The container or the bin should be such that the collected refuse does not leak through or is carried away by wind; it should also be such that it does not get damaged in any manner under the conditions normally met with in actual practice. Various municipalities and other organizations are already using dust bins on a large scale but there is no uniformity yet either m size or in construction. This standard has, therefore, been prepared with a view to unifying the existing practices and guiding manufacturers with regard

0.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration the views .of producers, consumers and technologists and has related the standard to the manufacturing and trade practices followed in the country in this field. 0.4 Wherever a reference to any Indian Standard appears in this specification, it shall be taken as a reference to the latest version of the standard. 0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2 - 1960 Rules for Round.ing Off Numerical Values ( Revised ) . The of significant places retained in the number rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 0.6 This standard is intended chiefly to cover the technical provisions relating to reinforced concrete dust bins, and it does not include all the necessary provisions of a contract.
